Okta reviews

Don't believe everything they tell you in the interview process. This isn't a need to have for most IT Security teams yet so be prepared for long sales cycles. Okta is a one-trick pony for SSO and Microsoft is hot on their heels to knock them out. Agree with what one reviewer stated about the CRO, he overdoes the Navy SEAL rhetoric and doesn't inspire. Don't think he was even in the military. Produce or you're out. You'll be on a short leash here. Middle management equals micro management. Because company is growing so fast, managers promoted because they've been there a while and not necessarily because they have the skills to manage. Hiring faster than any company I've ever worked for, which raises a red flag. Not sure growth can continue at this pace. If company hits a bump, wouldn't be surprised of layoffs are the result.

For all the talk about how great it is to work here and how much the managers love you, it's nonsense and as soon as you go against the grain (meaning, think for yourself and express your opinion), you become enemy number one. If you are faced with any situation where there is a difference of opinion, you will either accept what management says or be shown the door. Okta is quickly, and I mean quickly, on the path to being a terrible place to work. It's not quite there yet, but I give it less than a year and we shall see.
